If you’re engaging online at all, or donating to any politicians, the authorities are already aware of your politics.
Depends on the implementation for me. I’m in the southern US. If it just says ‘socialist,’ I’m probably fucked. But if it actually shows policies I support, like ‘everyone is entitled to own the output of their own labor,’ then most people would probably agree with me. People are propagandized against the socialist/communist label, but most of them agree with the policies.
Depends on the specific "socialism" you believe in.
For example, I still belive in a democratic system, I just want less of capitalism. So its would probably show me as either "Social Democrat" or "Democratic Socialist". But it would also show my opposition to those "Marxist Leninist" variants of "Socialism". Like "Opposed to the 'communists' in USSR and China" would probably be one of the labels that it shows.
Well, lucky I live in a blue city, so hopefully nobody would attack me for it.
If you explain your specfic beliefs before you get shot, maybe you could survive? Maybe...
Oh I'm so fucking dead. Like, queer anarchist factory worker in Ohio dead
I'm pretty fucked. First of all it's going to be several paragraphs because I don't neatly fit an ideology and then there's something to piss off every group.
Universal Healthcare? Fuck I'd settle for Healthcare that works.
Just... anything I want anything good, any change possible. Obviously that makes me a 'traitor' to society or whatever. Why does it just keep getting worse?!
So anyway, they'd burn me at the stake.
Does it apply to people online?
Does it apply to people on a television screen?
Does it apply to videos of people in the past, who have since changed their beliefs?
What do I see if someone has convinced they are somebody else? Whose beliefs do I see?
I kind of understand the premise ("what happens if we can't hide our beliefs anymore") but the details are too important to gloss over
Only applies to people physically within 1KM, including people above you on a plane (although IDK who flies that low), and also people below you in caves or tunnels. 1KM is any direction above below or diagonal. People who suffer from amnesia or schizophenia or any condition where they don't know who they are anymore, would probably have their info glitching out on the HUD display. And holographic projections like in star wars are still not considered physical presence
I’d be fine every where I go unless there’s a lot of religious people around.
I'd be assassinated by pig before I took ten steps.
What kinda Googlebook data powers are those that know me better than I know myself?
People have signs on their front lawn showing who they support. In a way, your hypothetical has been happening for decades. A lot of people don't hide who they vote for.
Oh no, people now will know I am a stoic communist and real socialist even without me plastering my political believes in each discussion even vaguely related to politics or economics.
Nice
I'd be fine, I think. Might find out one or two things about neighbours that they'd rather wasn't known, but I don't think there's anyone who would take great offence at my views, even if they opposed them. And I've nothing I'd want to hide.
I actually kind of like this scenario, as a way for people to understand that what they think about something may be far from the majority position.
I'm homeless and unemployed by the end of the day and have to flee the state. Both my landlord and general manager are hardcore MAGAts, and I live in a small, remote town in a very red state. It would genuinely not be safe for my politics to be known.
Depends who's looking. Most of the poor and middle class ~~asking~~ align with my views, if I don't say scary words like "communist” and "socialist"; Those with huge incomes might have a problem. And my ex who aligns with my views but votes against them because they somehow think these people care about them.
I'd be okay, especially considering the propensity for violence part of the announcement.
I'm an anarchist but I've never wanted to hurt the people around me; so i'm not sure.
Fucked
Not very.
Not very no. I'm probably not a polical anomaly of any kind, but some of my acquaintances might be surprised as I'm usually attributed to more extreme beliefs by those who don't know me as well.
Can't understand why since my voiced opinions aren't different than what the majority holds.
My right extremist friends would hate me for being too economically and socially left; my left extremist friends would hate me for being too socially and economically right. My progressive friends would be upset that I'm not progressive enough on social issues especially. My neo-con and centrist friends would be upset that I oppose the status queue.
Having said, those who examine their own beliefs would probably not fit any label perfectly either, so basically everyone would hate everyone.
I would look above peoples heads for indication that their beliefs are not inherited from a label, but rather assembled through self-reflection and life experience because those sorts of people are more conducive to openly discussing beliefs and possibly having their opinion change in regards to new information.
The authorities wouldn't give a shit because I'm a law abiding citizen and even though I oppose some of the things our nation does, I do not meaningfully resist and I still participate in capitalism and the other structures that prop them up in power.
Thanks for that moment of self examination. Now I'm standing in front of the mirror judging the political beliefs hovering above my own head! :D
Having said, those who examine their own beliefs would probably not fit any label perfectly either, so basically everyone would hate everyone.
OR! Everyone would realize we're not nearly as divided as the establishment tries to make us believe we are, and we could go back to being a mostly unified country, like we were when I was younger, before Fox news, Hannity, and drug addict Limbaugh.
I'm crossing my fingers because that is 100% the preferred outcome.
If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.
The "CRAPITALISM" bumper-sticker isn't enough of a beacon?
I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.
Honestly, I'm not totally sure. I think a lot of people would look at me strangely because of my pretty hardcore libertarian views, though. And I might very well be a target for the police.
Well considering politics isn't something I've spent a lot of my time thinking about, and I suspect my ideas are somewhat under developed. Because of which I'd love to take a look at that scoreboard and see what it says about me. Because I have no clue what I truly believe anymore.
